[gui-talk] Windows XP Home Defrag doesn't see my A: drive

[Joel Deutsch]

Hi George,

I've just done this, anyway.  But I have no idea if the files necessarily 
reorganize themselves more compactly when you do this.  If they do, that's 
nice.  Do our know?  Or are you guessing?

You can always "manually" defrag a floppy disk yourself.  The way I do it,
is to either move all the files to a new, blank disk, or move all the files
from the floppy  to a specially-created directory on my hard drive, then
erase and reformat the floppy disk, then move all those files that I
temporarily stored on my hard drive, back to the floppy disk once again.

thank you.  I undersand your instructions. I'm familiar with doing things
from a command line, due to having used DOS computers before Windows.  It
isn't that I'm having a problem figuring out how to do a defrag.  I know
where to go and what to do.  I am  sorry if that was not clear.  Your final
remark does address my question,  Apparently, it is now impossible to run
defrag on the A: drive.  It wasn't always so, not on my Win 98 SE computer
before this XP one.  Though I understand your reason, it wasn't this way
previously in my experience.  But of course I will give up the idea now.
I'll probably begin using only my flash drive even for minor daily backups
instead,and that's fine.

Thank you.
